Step 4: Monitoring and reporting status of migration tasks

After you select Migrate, the progress of your migration task appears. As they complete, you can view either detailed or summary reports of an individual task or a single summary report that includes all migration jobs submitted during this session. To learn more, see Using the SharePoint Migration Tool Reports.

The SharePoint Migration Tool (SPMT) generates log files, summary reports, and task level reports. This information helps you manage, audit, and troubleshoot your migration process.

Monitor your migration

The migration job progress report shows the overall progress of the migration job. Users can:

  • Pause and resume all migration tasks
  • Check the time elapsed and time remaining
  • Observe migration performance suggestions

The migration task progress report shows the progress of individual migration tasks. Users can:

  • Pause and resume a migration task

  • Delete a migration task

  • Check the time elapsed and the time remaining

  • Watch migration stats

  • View reports

How to view the reports

These reports can be viewed while the migration is taking place or after the jobs are complete.

Viewing task level reports:

  1. After the migration begins, select View reports.
  2. A file folder opens, listing the task-level reports generated for that specific task.

Viewing summary reports:

  1. After migration completes, select Migration details.
  2. A folder with the summary reports opens.

Summary Reports

Two types of summary reports are generated. The second type of summary report generated only if there are failures.

  • SummaryReport.csv. This report contains a single row of data that gives the total picture total size, number of files migrated, and duration.
  • FailureSummary.csv. This report is created only when failures or errors happen during the migration process.

When assessing your migration jobs, we recommend that you first look at these summary reports. If a FailureSummary.csv file wasn't created, then no failures occurred during the task run.

Task Reports

When you need to do a deeper investigation or a thorough verification of your migration task, the task level reports help you drill down into the specific details. The four recommended task level reports to use are:

  • ItemSummary.csv: This report is similar to the overall summary report except that it aggregates the data just for a single task.
  • ItemFailureReport.csv: The failure report at the item level. This report is a filtered version of the files report, showing only failures.
  • ItemReport.csv: A list of all the items this task attempted to do.
  • ScanSummary.csv: This report gives statistical totals.
  • StructureReport.csv: A structured report at the task level.
  • StructureFailureReport.csv: A structured failure report at the task level.
  • StructureFailureSummary.csv: This report is an aggregate of all the structural task failure reports. This report is only generated if there are failures.

The ItemSummary.csv report is a summary report at the task level.

Column Recommendation
Reading source speed score
Improving the speed at which the source can be read
Local disk performance score
Improving the migration computer speed
Uploading speed score Improving your connectivity to Office 365 and Azure
